Urban Lodge Brewing - Pratt Street

Cool little place, came here on a whim for a Sunday Happy Hour which shows online from 1130am-5pm. Apparently on game day there is no Happy Hour. No where does this say not on game day. Unhappy with the false information on your website. Someone needs to update the website information.

Urban Lodge Brewing on Pratt Street is a great place to enjoy quality beer and a lively atmosphere. Their IPA is really good—smooth, well balanced, and full of flavor—and the overall beer selection is solid. It’s also an excellent spot to watch UConn basketball, with plenty of energy and excitement during games. It can get a bit crowded, especially during game times, but that really speaks to how popular the place is. Even when it’s busy, the vibe stays fun and welcoming, and the staff do a great job keeping things moving. The crowd, good beer, and game-day atmosphere make Urban Lodge Brewing a place I’d happily return to.

Nice design and location in the downtown area. Brews are styles but similar in their taste. Staff are personable . Food is the usual pub kind of fare.

Urban Lodge Brewing has two locations, this one is in Hartford, CT. The Manchester location opened in 2019. My family and I were in the area and decided to stop in for lunch. This place was pretty big and with a second floor. When you first walk in, there is a sign stating to seat yourself and order via a QR code; each table had one and it can be scanned with a smartphone. The place was pretty busy and I asked an employee if they had an elevator or ramp, since we had a baby carriage, they said they didn't know since they're new. Luckily we snagged an open table on the first floor but it was dirty, we had to clean it ourselves. Their menu was not too vast but it had some good options. We ordered onion rings and the cheeseburger smash burgers. The food was delivered to our tables and it was actually pretty good! My husband got up to the bar to order some drinks for us. I love sours so I tried out their Husky Berry Buzz, which is a fruited sour with hints of cranberries and wildflower honey; I thought it was okay, a little too sour for my liking and I love sours lol. Then I had one of their holiday specials, a green Grinch drink with glitter and red sugar rim, that was a pretty drink and tasty. There was a person coming around to clean the tables when we finished our meals, they must've been short-handed when we first got in. Overall, a good place for some drinks and food.

We visited Urban Lodge before heading to a concert at the XL center. The location is great, beers good, and food o.k. There is outdoor seating during nice weather and additional lounge seating and dining tables on the second floor - which we wish we would have known about before ordering form a table on the first floor. The main bar and lower level was loud. An obvious hang out after hours for people working in the nearby offices. We took a seat at the window, ordered and picked up drinks from the bar, and the used a QR code to order food from our table. The Cajun fries were nicely spiced, the Asiago and garlic fries were o.k. But not too flavorful. The turkey burger was filled with flavorful items to complement the otherwise bland turkey burger. We ordered a flute of four different IPA and enjoyed them all. Wednesday evenings is also trivia night, which is great if you are hanging out and lounging around - not so great if you are looking for a nice meal and conversation before a show. My suggestion, if you are heading to Urban Lodge to hang out, the bottom floor is fine, if you are heading there for a meal or want to hear what others at your table are saying, head upstairs or eat outside.
